@ReseteraTakes There's just three problems with this take. 1) WFT and G&W are "wild pulls". Characters included for weirdness factor. Also G&W is one of the oldest Nintendo mascots. 2) Nintendo can't get an Overwatch character without getting permission first. 3) It'd be Tracer anyway.

Thanks to everyone who came and watched my April Fool's Overwatch stream with Sean! Apologies for the audio issues, we literally have NO IDEA what is causing it and the internet has no fixes, so hopefully we can get it solved in the future.

Also, I both hate and love the April Fools’ Overwatch Experimental changes. It’s so freaking fun and (some) characters are broken.

@BlizzardCS Hey Blizzard, why tf can’t I play Overwatch? Can’t apply update error every time. If this is an April Fools joke it isn’t funny, it’s just annoying.

I say again, Baptise is literally ruining the fun of Overwatch! An ability that negates more than one ultimate is incredibly broken and stupid! Rework or nerf the hero! @PlayOverwatch

@nyxthenocturnal Overwatch has similar problems if you get into a team with mic, it can get really horrible, from slurs to pure chaos. A reason i mostly play single player games or play solo.

@PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS PlayStation overwatch is unplayable and cannot load into any game modes with out an error occurring. Any time till this is fixed? Was looking forward to playing experimental but can’t even play quick play either.

The only time I play Overwatch anymore is when they add an experimental mode that's deliberately trying to be as broken as possible, because I am a demon of chaos and "balance" is for nerds.

@MegaMawsh @OWAnonymous_ Counts as representation for black women. A ROBOT. The fact that you have to reach to say orisa counts as representation emphasises the problem even more. Also I recognise doom fist is in the game, yet my point is that there are no black women in overwatch.

@Icex69 @OG_Punchy @Outriders Like what? Overwatch couldn't even launch. Many many AAA games have plenty of issues. I'm just not a well known critic like you..

@Roniboney My problem is no one ever wants to play the games I enjoy playing online, Overwatch, Apex, some L4D2. Or, they just aren't on the same schedule that I am (thanks work.) No one wants to play Overwatch at 3AM. So playing with friends is nearly impossible for me.

@MollsisBored I see this **** happen in overwatch all the time. I usually find a creative way to tell the tell to **** off that skirts the rules so I don't get in trouble for it.. but yeah rarely does anyone else call out the *******.

Instead of agreeing to the terms of service , people should take an IQ test before they play games. Overwatch would be so fun

@BlizzardCS Is this connected to Playstation Overwatch just not working today? Because if so, fix it now. It’s unplayable right now. I get bugged out of every game mode and just don’t load in at all. Experimental, Quick play, Custom games, you name it.

@katventute I'm just saying, if they did get a character from that company, I think they'd go with Crash way before they went with an Overwatch character. Hell, even if they did go with specifically a Blizzard character, I think Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo have had biggest impacts.

I was trying this out with Overwatch at 2am and although I'd disconnect because since the usb cable I was using isn't too stable due to it's length and fit I suppose (I'm using a different one now). There was higher latency than I'm used to but that's to be expected since

@ArtStarcross A lot that platform fighters generally do not have. It's either moderate or even absurd movement tech like air dashing all the way up to replicating that one Genji super dash glitch in vanilla Overwatch.

Getting some really bad GPU lag streaming Overwatch, so may swap to WoW shortly. I wish I could afford a new video card. Except the cheapest ones atm are $320. Which is $320 more than I have to spend on anything. :(
